Description

FIELD OF INVENTION
This invention relates to power control mechanism within a display device, i.e. a monitor.
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
As well known in the arts, a power button located on the panel (bezel) of a display device is provided for turning on the power supply to the display device. In general, the power button is located on the front or side location of the panel. The power button has a first end, which is provided to be accessed by a user, and second end. A user may push the power button to switch the power supply to the circuit board and other elements in the monitor, and vice versa.
Typically, most display devices are designed in such way that the power supply socket is located on the rear location of the display device. The power supply socket functions to connects with a power cable. A power switch is located, in general, within and on the rear side of the display device, and functions to apply the power supply, when activated by the button on the front panel via a link bar, to circuit and other elements in the display device. The link bar includes a first and second ends. The first end of the link bar contacts with the second end of the button and, therefore, the link bar moves, responsive to movement of the button. The power switch, responsive to movement of the second end of the link bar, selectively applies the power supply to circuit and other elements in the display device. Conventionally, the link bar is located on and slides upon the print circuit board within the display device. This conventional design renders a smaller space on the print circuit board which is available for circuit layout purpose.
To overcome the drawback of the conventional design, the object of the invention is to provide a link bar which does not occupy the space on the print circuit board.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The power control apparatus in a display device including a button, a link bar and a power switch is provided. The monitor includes a bracket, a circuit board and a panel. The bracket includes a guiding slot. The button, which includes a first end and a second end, is located on the panel. The first end is provided to be accessed by a user. The link bar has a first end and a second end. The first end of the link bar contacts with the second end of the button such that the link bar moves responsive to movement of the button. The power switch, responsive to movement of the second end of the link bar, selectively applies a power supply to the circuit board.
The link bar includes an engagement portion for engaging with and sliding longitudinally along the bracket.

DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
As shown in FIG. 1, the display device implementing the present invention includes a bracket 11, a print circuit board 13 and a front panel 15. The bracket 11 is vertically disposed with respect to the print circuit board 13. As shown in FIG. 2, the bracket 11 has a guiding slot which has a first guide slot 21 and a second guide slot 23. The width of the second guide slot 23 is larger than that of the first guide slot 21. In general, the bracket 11 is made of metal material and functions to shield the electric-magnetic wave generated inside the display device.
The power control apparatus of the invention includes a button 17, a link bar 19 and a power switch 12. The button 17 is located on the panel 15 of the monitor. The button 17 includes a first end and a second end. The first end is provided to be accessed by a user.
The link bar 19 has a first end and a second end. The first end of the link bar 19 contacts with the second end of the button 17 such that the link bar 19 moves responsive to movement of the button 17.
As known in the prior arts, the power socket 14 functions to connect to a connector of a power cable (not shown). The power switch 12 contacts with the second end of the link bar 19 and, responsive to movement of the second end of the link bar 19, selectively applies a power supply, via the power cable and power socket, to the print circuit board 13.
As shown in FIG. 2, the link bar 19 includes an engagement portion which includes a guide rail 25, an extended flange 27 and a cantilever rib 29. The flange 27, which presents a third width dimension, extends vertically in respect to the guide rail 25 as shown. The third width dimension of the flange 27 is smaller than the second width dimension of the second guide slot 23, and larger than the first width dimension of the first guide slot 21, for preventing lateral disengagement of the link bar 19 from the bracket 11. The guide rail 25 is placed into and slides along the first guide slot 21. The cantilever rib 29 limits the relative longitudinal movement between the link bar 19 and the bracket 11.
As shown in FIG. 3, before assembling the engagement portion of link bar 19 and the bracket 11, each is aligned to the other. Afterwards, in lateral direction, dispose the flange 27 into the second guide slot 23 in which the cantilever rib 29 pushes against the surface of the bracket 11. Thereafter, force the link bar 19 to move longitudinally a distance by which the guide rail 25 is disposed into and slides along the first guide slot 21. As movement of the guide rail 25 past one location, the cantilever rib 29 does not touch against the surface of the bracket 11 and is totally disposed into the space of the second guide slot 23, as shown in FIG. 4. The arrangement of the cantilever rib 29 indirectly prevents the disengagement of the link bar 19 from the bracket 11 during transportation of the monitor in production line.
After assembly as shown in FIG. 1, responsive to the action of the user to the button 17, the link bar 19 moves and changes the status of the power switch 12. Therefore, the power supply may be either applied to or disconnected from the print circuit board 13.
In the second embodiment, the link bar 19 does not include the cantilever rib as recited for the first embodiment. In a second embodiment shown in FIG. 5, a deformable retainer 36 is provided to perform the function of the cantilever rib 29 of the first embodiment described above. After assembly of the link bar 19 with the bracket 11 according to procedure recited above, a deformable retainer 36 is further disposed into the second guide slot 23 for limiting the relative longitudinal movement between the link bar 19 and the bracket 11. The arrangement of the deformable retainer 36 indirectly prevents the disengagement of the link bar 19 from the bracket 11 during transportation of the monitor in production line.
